About Dinotopia - Quest For The Ruby Sunstone
Product Description DINOTOPIA: QUEST FOR THE RUBY SUNSTONE Experience the Magic of Dinotopia in an All-New Animated Movie 26, the beloved young dinosaur from the hit miniseries, stars in an all-new animated movie set on the island where humans and dinosaurs co-exist. Twelve-year-old orphan Kex stows away in a lifeboat, hoping to see the world, but after being washed overboard he finds himself on Dinotopia, befriended by 26. Soon, the friends face trouble when the evil Ogthar is released from his stone prison and recovers the Ruby Sunstone, whose dark power can endanger all of Dinotopia. Join 26, Alex and the other dinosaurs as they fight to save their magical home, Dinotopia! Featuring the voice talent of Alyssa Milano as 26, OSCAR® nominee Michael Clarke Duncan (The Green Mile) as Stinktooth, Jamie Kennedy as Spazz, Kathy Griffin as Rhoga, OSCAR® nominee George Segal (Whos Afraid of Virginia Woolf?) as Albagon, Wayne Knight as Thudd, Diedrich Bader as John and the legendary Malcolm McDowell as Ogthar. OSCAR® is the registered trademark and service mark of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. Approximately 75 minutes Color Amazon.com Quest for the Ruby Sunstone takes its inspiration from blockbuster miniseries Dinotopia (and the James Gurney books behind it). Rather than Karl and David, Kex (Alec Medlock) is the modern-day boy stranded on Dinotopia, where people and (herbivorous) dinosaurs co-exist. (The 12-year-old washes ashore when an attempt to flee his orphanage goes awry.) While there, he befriends preteen dino 26 (Alyssa Milano) and battles the evil Ogthar (Malcolm McDowell). This lively, if predictable animation is designed for a younger audience than the original series, which is to say it's more Land Before Time than Dinosaur. As with the former, the look is flat and stylized rather than realistic, like a cross between Speed Racer and Pocahontas. While the story may be familiar--orphan saves the day by banding together with new friends--the dinos are plentiful enough that small ones are likely to overlook such shortcomings. (Ages 2 to 7) --Kathleen C. Fennessy
